Elderly woman assaulted by beer thieves, suffers head cut

A 74-year-old woman was assaulted by two men stealing beer from an Everett grocery store, and police are asking the public’s help in finding them.

About 3 p.m. Feb. 26, three men stole beer from the Safeway at 4128 Rucker Ave..

“The investigation revealed that three males were running from the store shoplifting beer and as they ran out the door two of the suspects ran into the victim, knocking her to the ground and into what turned out to be the suspects’ getaway car,” Everett Police Sgt. Robert Goetz said. “As the suspects were attempting to get into the car the getaway driver drove away striking the victim’s head causing a laceration.”

The descriptions of the suspects were vague: two white men and a black man, all in their late teens or early 20s. They fled in a white four-door Ford Taurus with a dent in the right rear quarter panel. Police did not have a description of the getaway driver.

Anyone with information is asked to call Everett police at 425-257-8459.
